Apologies if this is off topic for this list; I remember seeing that a list had been opened up for debian & java but when I went to the mailing lists page on www.debian.org I didn't see it....
Anyway, I recently decided to check out Java, and (not being entirely sure what I was doing) installled the jdk1.1, jdk1.1-dev, guavac and tya packages. Didn't get a chance to check anything out until today.... and having retrieved & installed a new glibc via apt-get last night, am not sure what is causing this problem.... (however, the glibc docs say something about recompilation being necessary for errors such as these) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ > java -version /usr/lib/jdk1.1/bin/../bin/i586/green_threads/java: error in loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/jdk1.1/bin/../lib/i586/green_threads/libjava.so: undefined symbol: _dl_symbol_value (this happens no matter what I do with the java program... appletviewer has the same problem, and guavac segfaults.) I'll just list the various package versions.... ii guavac 1.0-5 A java compiler. ii jdk1.1 1.1.7v1a-2 JDK 1.1.x (Java Development Kit) - Runtime o ii jdk1.1-dev 1.1.7v1a-2 JDK 1.1.x (Java Development Kit) ii libc6 2.1.1-0pre1 GNU C Library: shared libraries ii libc6-dev 2.1.1-0pre1 GNU C Library: Development libraries and hea ii tya 1.2v4-2 JIT-compiler for Java If anyone has recently set up the JDK on debian, and could help, 'twould be much appreciated :) If someone else can replicate it, I'll file it as a bug, but its probably just my system. ali. ps: please Cc: messages to me as I'm only subscribed to the digest version of this list :)
